INTERNATIONAL

An article on Sept. 28 about why so many children are being killed in Aleppo, Syria, misidentified the city from which Hanaa Singer, the Unicef representative in Syria, was speaking when she said precise numbers of child casualties in east Aleppo had yet to be determined. It was Aleppo, not Damascus.

•

The What in the World article on Sept. 29 about how crime is punished in Antarctica misstated the number of American bases that lie in territory claimed by New Zealand, which conducted an autopsy in a 2000 case. It is two, not three. (All of McMurdo Station and part of the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station are within territory claimed by New Zealand; the third base, Palmer Station, is on land claimed by Chile, Argentina and Britain.)

OBITUARIES

An obituary on Wednesday about the pilot Bob Hoover referred incorrectly to his escape from a prisoner of war camp in the final days of World War II. While he escaped from the camp with a friend, only Mr. Hoover then flew a German aircraft to freedom; his friend was not with him on the plane. The obituary also misstated the name of the Ohio airfield, now part of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where Mr. Hoover was based after the war. It was Wright Field, not Wilbur Wright Field. In addition, the obituary misidentified the Bell Aircraft X-1, which Mr. Hoover trained to fly. It was a rocket plane, not a jet. The obituary also misidentified the company with which North American Aviation, for which Mr. Hoover worked as a test pilot, merged. It was Rockwell-Standard, not Rockwell International. And the obituary referred incorrectly to the P-51 fighter. It was a propeller plane, not a jet, and Mr. Hoover did not test it at Wright Field. In addition, a picture caption with the obituary misidentified the plane shown with Mr. Hoover. It is an F-100D Super Sabre, not an F-86 Sabre. And because of an editing error, the byline for the obituary misstated the surname of the reporter in some copies. He is Craig H. Mellow, not Bellow.
